I think one thing everyone agrees is that Cantor's tenure is transformational. I'd be wary of enrolling my kid in a transformational university. I'd probably go with a proven product. Why take a chance on a college education? But that's just me. I'd obviously think differently if I didn't have a choice and this was the only avenue available.

Finally, everyone keeps laughing at WVU, USF and Louisville, but wouldn't those schools say they are serving a similarly-noble mission? Aren't they entitled to that? Why is this so noble and superior compared to their missions? I'm sure I can find WVU and 'Ville students who would write similar letters as the one above. You can throw back SAT scores and entrance standards all you want but that is not the only criteria for success, as the article makes clear and Cantor would clearly agree.

To bring this back to football, I think Syracuse people should rethink their criteria for looking down on other schools in the BE. It would appear that the schools mission, along with its conference alignment, is changing.

PS -- Love the Cornell guy with "The world needs ditch diggers too" comment. Was this an Onion parody?[/COLOR][/FONT]
